I have talked often about the importance of delegation and all the things a Virtual Assistant can do for you. Holly Matson This time I’ve asked my own assistant Holly Matson, of Lightseeds by Holly, to offer her thoughts on specific tasks that can be effectively delegated to a Virtual Assistant. Virtual assistants exist in nearly any specialty you can imagine, just [...]
If you start with defining who you want to be, and then look at strategies on how to get there, you can create enormous success. But first, you need to determine what your end goal is! Caryn Fitzgerald of Coffee and Coaching with Caryn and I explored this concept and more on her show. Caryn's nickname is "the Manifesting Queen" because of her ability to [...]
I just recently completed the Holistic Time Coaching class for continuing education credit. Often, I hear professionals complain about needing to take continuing education courses to keep their certificates current. I've never been that person. I LOVE to learn - and relish the idea of learning more and increasing my skill-set to better serve my clients. When I heard of the opportunity to enroll [...]
Do you have a deep-down desire to help others? To share knowledge with people to help improve their lives? Have you considered becoming a coach? Coaching wasn't my first choice in career (or my second or my third . . . ) but it is the career I love the most, in which I feel the most fulfilled, and where believe I make the [...]
Steve Jobs is quoted as saying, "You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future ... believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well worn path; and [...]
Previously I've written about how the number 168 has magical time management powers. (OK - maybe not magical powers, but using the fact that there are 168 hours in the week, and determining how to allocate them ahead of time, is certainly a powerful time management principle.) [Tweet "Being proactive instead of reactive with your time is powerful."] No Refusal Payday Loans AND [...]
My time management system isn’t your time management system. Just like my hobbies aren’t your hobbies. My favorite sports teams aren’t your favorite sports teams (Go Indians – NEXT year is our year!). My preferred methods of recharging my batteries aren’t your preferred methods. (I’m sure you get the picture.) Finding the time management system – the framework, the structures, the strategies, the techniques [...]
Did you know that October is ADHD Awareness month? Though I have not been diagnosed with ADHD, I realize that I have many of the typical symptoms when I'm tired or experiencing an unusually large amount of stress. (As do many of my clients!) I'm guessing you might also! I know that when I can "take care of myself" I'm able to focus [...]
Are you an energetic and motivated solopreneur? Do you love your business, but find it challenging to prioritize everything you need to do in the course of a day? One of the things I've notices when I start working with a new client, the amount of "work" seems to exceed the amount of "time" available, which leads to frustration and overwhelm. Doing all that [...]
I believe in structure. I also believe the amount of structure each person needs varies according to the person and the situation. I've found I'm most successful when I create a plan for my day that has scheduled time for my priorities - and open spots to react to emerging priorities. A client once called this "structured flexibility". But - life is fluid! What [...]
